he housed them in poor living conditions.
6 men in a basement on bunk beds and 1 bathroom.
Rios said he was making $7.25 an hour and had to pay $75 for rent each week.
But here's the kicker:
The Argentine student Rios first got to know of the program at his college campus via a poster he saw from Geovisions, a New Hampshire firm accredited by the State Department to sponsor students and place them with employers.
Rios applied and paid about $3,000 to participate in the program.
it's a 3month work visa (aka 12weeks).
minimum wage is $7.25/hr. 40hrs/week = $290
to breakeven of that $3000, they have to work 10 weeks.
now add taxes, rent...
it's next to impossible to break even in 12weeks.
if u just wanted to visit america, u could have just spent that $3000 on a vacation
